You Know You Are A Monster Kid If....

All your friends refer to your room in the basement as the "goon room".

You convince your entire family to sing 'Faro La Faro Leee!' at your wedding.
(Yes, I did. And yes, they did.)

-For those of you who wear glasses: You put a napkin over your head and put your glasses on and claim you are "The Invisible Man" (Yes, I did this once at a family dinner when I was a young kid and my parents didn't have me committed!)

-As a kid, You had photos of classic monsters on your wall rather than any of the popular celebrities of the time. (I recall having images of Frankenstein, Dracula and Billy Squier on my headboard......?!!??!?!)

-A pet of yours is or was somehow named in relation to the genre

-You either had or want Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein on your wedding cake

-You take off work on the release day of a new Universal Horror DVD release (admit it, you've done it!)

LOL.

My dog is named Elsa....

My Dachshund is named Schultz von Rathbone.

...You enjoy watching old black and white horror movies, especially on an HD TV.

...if you growl like Frankenstein's Monster whenever you are frustrated or angry.

RRRRRRRRRRR!

I do that. I even move my arm in a "wiping away" or "shooing away" sort of gesture like the monster does when he doesn't like something. Some friends of mine watched "Bride of Frankenstein" once and when the monster did it they were blown away that he acted just like me!

-You either had or want Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein on your wedding cake

I had them on my groom's cake for my second wedding, does that count?

You, sir, are a great man!


Ray, I would have thought the same about vending machines, but recently my nephew was carrying around a little rubber "Doraemon" (a Japanese character) that he got out of one. I know it's not a monster, but it is hope.

I don't have a "workplace" per se. I work outta my car really. I used to have a Mothra hanging from the rearview, but I got sick of people saying "I like your buttefly!"

Sure it does!

Partaking of or profferring certain foods and drinks makes you compulsively say things like--"It's my only vice..." and "Have a potato."

You have said--to a friend--"Friennnnnd---GOOD!"

You have an overpowering wish to walk with the "Kharis shuffle" when you're in a museum....

If your room looked like this in college...



...you might be a Monster Kid.

[claudin]

Sweeeeet!

If your room looked like this in college...

Your room looked like this at mom and dad's house because you decided to stay at home and watch monster movies around the clock and didn't go to college ..



...you might be a Monster Kid.

My bachelor party started at a public pub owned by a dear friend and he put The Abominable Dr. Phibes on the big screen with the sound turn up.  The entire bar had to watch it.

I ate and drank and watched Vinnie pine for Victoria.

Then the night got interesting.
